An early attempt at IR photography with the Fuji camera (and a Hoya R-72 Infrared Filter). This particular shot uses the Scarborough, Ont civic center and the former surrounding skyline. The rather sizable building being constructed in the background is now flanked by others of equal size (some 30 or 40 stories by the time they where done. Needless to say, this skyline no longer exists in the real world.

I'm still not entirely convinced of the practicality of IR photos. The long exposure times required and silly amounts of light (usually resulting in really long exposure times) really reduce the opportunities to bring out the filter. Although the effect is interesting and lends itself well to false colouration, I don't know if the tradeoff is entirely worth the effort.
Still, I have yet to try an IR filter on the Olympus, and it has a free release shutter. If I can figure out a way to keep the sensor cool, perhaps I can minimize the noise and work out a way to make it worth while.

Can't wait for that warmer weather!
